Easter foster dogs update

Our Easter celebration was great, but this post is about the fosters! Crystal and Pooh Bear (a.k.a. Poohbert) might get their own blog soon -- anything that'll help them find their home!

We've decided that Pooh Bear is actually Crystal's dog. It's our own weird little way of saying how bonded they are. It's like a sibling relationship. Crystal lets Pooh Bear clean her ears, gnaw on her paws and face, all kinds of things that other dogs couldn't get by with doing. They are really sweet together.

Pooh Bear got spayed last week, and she's spending a few more days yet in the Cone of Shame because we don't trust her not to pick at her stitches. They'll dissolve soon, though. Here's a happy little Cone of Shame shot from last night (where you can see some of the damage she and Crystal have inflicted upon the Cone):

And a pic of Crystal, taken last night, too:

For the record, here are their current standings:- Both spayed- Both vaccinated for rabies- Both received their distemper/parvo booster shots (first shots were at the shelter)- Both on HW preventive (Crystal is officially heartworm-free; no test on Poohbert yet)- Both on flea/tick preventive- Pooh Bear is microchipped- Crystal is a young adult, weighing in at around 55 pounds; Pooh Bear is about 8 months old and weighed 32 pounds at her spay appointment.

Now, who has the home these dogs are supposed to be living in, and just doesn't know it yet?

Why this blog?

A creative writing exercise in the voice of my girl led me into such precious relationships... so, now that she's gone, I search for a new voice, and here we will see what that voice will say. One thing I will always say is that dogs show us the closest thing to God's unconditional grace that we can know this side of the veil.
